I found a 1968 lincoln cent and on the reverse a dime glued into it. Someone Cut the memorial out and glued a dime in there. Worthless but one of the coolest finds yet

here is a picture. sorry the pics are a little blurry



I just started sorting my zincs and I found this after about 30 coins or so. I actually almost threw it in my reject bin.Its actually the nicest one I have found for that year
1998 Wide AM

I have just started looking for them... Now there isnt much difference in the AM correct, its the FG and how close it is?

close fg= wide am, far fg=close am?

I actually almost missed this one b.c the Gap on the AM wasnt big. There are actually three things you can look at to tell its a wide AM.
1: the Gap between the A and M
2: The Space between the M and E is narrower on the wide AM
3: The FG almost touches the side of the memorial.

You sometimes see a cent that has a Gap but is not a wide AM b.c of # 2&3 I mentioned.. I am still looking for the 99 Wide and 92 close but I will find it one day.
